Can you put horse and/or poultry manure in the compost bin with the other scraps or does it need a seperate pile to rot down?

Put it all in together. The manure will help to heat up the bin and everything will compost more quickly because of it. You are lucky to have it

The plot thickens!

I've just had some brillinat news! the hotel next to the office here has started keeping horses and they said I could have s much manure as I liked! So can I spread this fresh stuff on my tattie beds for next year right now, or should I let it fester a bit and spread it next year?
(sorry to pinch your thread Salina, it was just too good to miss!)

I would say it probably depends on how much manure you have. If it's a little, then add to the compost bin. If it's a lot then make a separate stack. Any excrement (posh word for poo) from vegetarian animals can be used on compost heaps, together with the used bedding. Our guinea pig cleanings always go on the compost heap (OK I know they're only little and we're not talking about the sort of quantities you get with stable manure).Comment

Dunno really... 'cos the owners wanted them I guess! Not much opportunity to organise pony trekking round here, they would need horsey waders anyway!
